Wonderfully detailed....Todays vilified moguls look like pussycats compared with Hetty. ForbesA biography of the Witch of Wall Street, who amassed a fortune of $100 million before women had the right to voteA full century before Oprah and Martha Stewart became icons of female entrepreneurship, there was Hetty Green, Americas richest woman, who stood alone among the roguish giants of the Gilded Age. The Guinness Book of World Records memorialized her as the Worlds Greatest Miser, and, indeed, this unlikely robber baronwho parlayed a comfortable inheritance into a fortune that was worth about 1.6 billion in todays dollarswas frugal to a fault. But she lived by her own rules, buying and selling real estate and railroads, fighting hard and sometimes dirty, and amassing cash reserves to rival the great banks. In Hetty, Charles Slack reexamines her life and legacy, giving us, at long last, a splendidly nuanced portrait (Newsweek) of one of the greatestand most eccentricfinanciers in American history.
